Hey Lukas, you just hit it right, this is what is on here tonight:
Doug's Black Bean Soup:
2    tbls vegetable oil
1    medium onion chopped fine
1    carrot chopped fine
4    garlic cloves, chopped fine
2    jalapenos, seeded and chopped medium
1-2 habaneros seeded and chopped fine
8    cups of good chicken stock
2    540 ml cans of black beans, drained and rinsed, or 4 cups cooked
black beans
salt, freshly ground black pepper, and cumin to taste
1    large tomato, skinned, seeded and chopped
In a large soup pot, heat the oil, and add the onion, carrot, garlic and
peppers, and saute until just tender...add the peppers and cumin, and
heat for another minute for to blend it in and then add the stock and
the beans, and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for about
another 15 minutes, then remove about half of the beans and puree in a
blender or food processor, return this to the pot, and heat again, add
salt and more black pepper to taste...place in bowls and top with the
chopped up tomato, and more hot pepper sauce of your choice....I can
hear you all the way from Oz, Luke! Cheers, Doug in BC
